Haitianola, a registered L3C, was founded by Lori Martineau, an American-Haitian artist and educator and Linda Reno, an American photographer and educator. The pair share an affinity for artists and cultural bearers in general, but with a special love for Haitians and New Orleanians. The desire to engage with artists and cultural bearers, while exchanging knowledge of the deep historical, spiritual and cultural connections between both places, serves as the foundational ideology of Haitianola.
Haitianola se yon oganizasyon L3C ki fonde pa Lori Martineau, yon atis ak edikatris Amerikèn/Ayisyen epi pa Linda Reno, yon fotograf ak edikatris Amerikèn. Nou tou de gen yon gwo respè pou atis ak moun kap bat pou kenmbe kilti yo an general, men nou gen yon feblès espesyal pou atis ak samba Ayiti yo ak Nouvèl Orleans yo. Ideyoloji fondasyon Haitianola, pandan nap pataje konesans pwofondè koneksyon ki genyen ant de kote sa yo ki klè lè nou gade listwa yo, vi espirityèl yo, epi tout kalite aspè kiltirèl yo, se pou nou angaje ak fe echanj pesonèl ak moun sa yo.
Lori Martineau was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti to an American mother and Haitian father and began living between Haiti and the United States as a young adult. She holds a BA in Education with both an ESL and Montessori Education certificate and a Master’s Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Expressive Arts Therapy. She has taught infants and toddlers, middle schoolers and adults. Lori’s personal history has solidified her belief that artistic expression, no matter the cultural paradigm, can bring about healing and growth both individually and for larger communities. Her personal art revolves around her incessant exploration of her Haitian heritage based in oral tradition.
Lori Martineau te fèt Pòtoprens, Ayiti epi li grandi Ayiti. Manman li te yon Amerikèn epi papa li te yon Ayisyen. Li kenmbe yon diplom inivèsite nan Edikasyon, li gen sètifika nan ESL avèk nan edikasyon Montessori. Li genyen tou yon metriz nan Sikoloji avèk yon konsantrasyon nan terapi ki sèvi lèza. Li travay ak timoun piti, adolesan epi avèk granmoun. Eksperyans pèsonèl Lori yo tou kreye yon kwayans lakay li ke nan nenpòt ki kilti, lè yon moun eksprime tèt yo avèk lèza, sa ka kreye yon vre gerisman epi yon vre chanjman nan mounnan oswa nan tout yon kòminote. Lèza pèsonèl Lori sòti nan eksplorasyon eritaj tradisyon listwa oral peyi d’Ayiti.
